Remember how I posted about FREE ice cream at Walmart here? Just a friendly reminder that this event will take place tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Don't forget to call your local Walmart to see if they will be participating before you make the trip and demand free ice cream =) Click on the link above for all the details.

This sweet coupon was delivered to my in-box: if you buy any 31 Below, you will get another one for FREE. I'm not sure what a 31 Below is but I like the sound of it. Do me a favor and don't tell Hubby about this coupon because I'm pretty sure I'm going to eat both of them.

I am a crafter in training. My mom was a teacher and always had the best activities for us to do, so I am humbly trying to follow in her footsteps. I impress myself every once in a while but my crafty ideas for the kids are kind of lacking. It usually involves coloring, cutting, and pasting - the kids seem to be happy with it but it leaves a little to be desired in my opinion.

I stumbled upon a super crafty gal's site, Wee Wonderful, and was pleasantly surprised to see that she has a page of free patterns available to download for FREE. All she asks is that you not sell anything you make from the patterns. Seems fair, right?

I do sew but I'm a bit rusty so I thought we would start with the easiest craft which is paper dolls. I didn't even have time to cut them out completely, as you can see from the pictures, before Boo snatched them up. We ended up printing out a couple copies and just pasting the different outfits onto the dolls, but I'm planning on laminating some and putting magnets on the outfits. They would be really cute party favors!

Be sure to check out all of her patterns and then her blog as well. She is very crafty and incredibly generous to share those patterns for free!

I have also previously posted a link for this booklet, but it is available again! Register here to receive a coupon booklet with up to $10 in savings and including a coupon for a FREE 24 oz bottle of Hunt’s Ketchup!

I posted about this booklet a month or so ago, but it seems as though there is another one available! This booklet has over $30 worth of coupons for products such as Cascade, Dawn, and Febreze, and even includes a coupon for a FREE Cascade Clear Rinse Agent. Click here to register for yours =)

Burt’s Bees will be giving away 1,000 lip balms every morning at 9:00. In honor of their 25th birthday, they will be giving away 25,000 lip balms over 25 days. So if you don’t get one tomorrow morning, you can try again another 20 times =) Click here to register

The Children’s Place is having an awesome sale, and if you have the time and patience, you can score some really cheap stuff! A lot of what they have is coming up out of stock, but I did some poking around and still found quite a bit.

In addition to the low prices, there is $5 flat rate shipping, and you can save 15% off your order by using promotional code S2A59. Happy shopping!(Thanks Baby Cheapskate!)

I have the hearts for coffee. Literally can’t function without it. I get uber excited about cheap and/or free coffee just because I consume so much of it, so you’d better believe I was all over this freebie. Taster’s Choice will send you a stick pack sample of all six of their delicious flavors. This offer is limited to one sample pack per person, and two samples per household. That means you can sign hubby up for some and get 12 samples. All you have to do is register here, and wait 6 – 8 weeks =)

I totally kicked butt at Old Navy today! We have had contractors working on our house all week, so I thought I would get them out for a bit. I hopped over to Old Navy to see if I could find Hubby some flip flops and was pleasantly surprised to see that they are having a clearance sale where an additional 50% is taken off the lowest ticketed price! I paired that with a coupon from Old Navy Weekly (SO glad I happened to take my coupon binder with me), and I got all the items pictured to the left for only $43! Here's what I got:(Disclaimer: I know I got the lion's share of the stuff but there was literally nothing for the kids or hubby. I swear!)

If you decide to head over, don't forget to take a coupon from Old Navy Weekly with you. Here are the coupon locations courtesy of the gals from A Full Cup:

- $60/$100 - Drag the green bucket to the right of the screen to fill it with water. Then drag it to the picture with the 3 people wearing goggles to fill that square. It will take 4 times to fill up the square to get the coupon.- $45/$100 - Take the spray bottle from the girl in purple and spray the girl in white shorts and blue bikini top 2 times.- $10/$50 - Drag the head from sand and put it on the headless boy.- $20/$100 - Drag the bag with the orange stripes over to the hand of the girl wearing the purple dress.- $15/$75 - Four seconds into the video, click on woman's hand.- $5/$50 - Click on the orange soda that the girl in the green bikini is holding.

I live by lists. I wasn’t always so organized and I have to work really hard to stay on top of everything. So as soon as I get up in the morning, I make a list of what I need to do for the day. I really can’t function until I see everything laid on for me on paper.

Besides my daily to-do list, I also have a running grocery list, biweekly menu, and weekly planner. I usually just have these scribbled out on random bits of paper – not incredibly organized. Just goes to show you I’m a work in progress ;-) I stumbled across some FREE organizational downloads at Mommy Track’d. Some of the downloads available are a to-do list, menu planner, and week at a glance calendar. I printed out a few of each and I’m going to hole punch and place them in a binder, so all my organizational info is in one handy place. After you print those out, be sure to poke around the site a bit, it’s very cute and incredibly informative!

It’s getting hard to keep track of all of these freebies! On June 19th, Orange Julius is having a FREE Light Smoothie Day. All you have to do is go here, download the coupon, and choose from Tropical Sunlight, Berry-Pom Twilight, or Strawberry Delight. The coupon states only at participating locations while supplies last, so it would be a good idea to call ahead and see if your location will honor the coupon. I’ll post a reminder as we get closer to the date =)

Remember how I posted about Regal Cinema’s FREE movies here? (BTW the Family Festival started yesterday) Well here is another opportunity to see movies with you family for cheap!

AMC theatres are hosting a Summer Movie Camp where admission is only $1. The movies will be shown at 10:00 a.m. every Wednesday. In addition to the cheap tickets, you can also purchase an AMC KidsPack, including a drink, popcorn, and snack for only $3!

Here are some great coupons that I've come across lately. I'm especially excited about the Huggies coupons because we continue to blow through diapers in our house (thanks to Bubba's new love of grapes). I know, TMI.
